And just like that it’s over . . .

Well this morning I went for my scan and was told the devastating news that our much longed for baby had definitely stopped growing some weeks ago. It would appear that I had suffered a “missed miscarriage”. Apparently some of the symptoms of a missed miscarriage are similar to pregnancy symptoms so that would explain why I have still been feeling “pregnant”. As the fetus dies and breaks down you can suffer from fatigue and nausea. Such a cruel trick that nature can play on you!

I now have to make the decision on how I would like my pregnancy to be dealt with – what a fun choice to make, NOT!! You can either have “Conservative Management” where you let Mother Nature do her stuff. Medical Evacuation where you have to take tablets to make you miscarry properly or Surgical Evacuation where (in the doctor’s words) they basically suck the pregnancy out with a vacuum!

I want to say thank you to my friends who have been a great support to me over the past week and especially today, your words are all very comforting xx

My poor Hubby just keeps hugging me telling me how sorry he is like it’s his fault – which of course it isn’t. And I remind him that this is his loss too. I think sometimes our husbands/partners get forgotten about and all the emphasis is on the woman. Of course it’s hard for us, its our bodies that are going through it but just like in labour, our Hubby’s feel lost and a little useless as there is nothing that they can do. At the end of the day, they ultimately feel it is there job to protect us and this is the one time they can do nothing. So to my Hubby, I’m sorry too! Let’s just hope that we can have a happy healthy pregnancy soon and finally complete our brood of gorgeous children! xxx

About Me

In my former life I worked in Solicitors for over 10 years and latterly the Motor Trade for 6 years until becoming a stay at home mum.

I began blogging in 2009 as a hobby, an online 'memory book' for my family. Over time this has developed into my business and a way for me to continue to stay at home for my family. Blogging has lead to some amazing opportunities for all of us and I love being able to write, work on my photography and keeping those grey cells working.

Mummy Matters is a magazine-style blog focusing on family life (the good and the bad), days out, crafts, travel, style, food, health and beauty. If it's a part of our lives, it's in the blog.
